Are We All Going Mad?

Seems in tweak land, silly prevails, especially at high prices.

Like health and beauty products you can find every kind of imaginable snake oil and superstition to help cure the worst fears of paranoid audiophiles...

Without actually experiencing what this unit does or doesn't do, this discussion is purely speculation.

Shadorne, yer really ticking me off now. You Doubting Thomas type's are all alike. I was bald as a cue ball until I tried the Popeil Chia Pet System for hair growth. I rubbed a little elixir on my head and now I look like Sasquatch! Then I did what Victoria Principal told me to do and rubbed some Wrinkle Be Gone cream on my face and it took 60 years off my age. THAT was tough (given I'm in my 50s) so let me tell you Benjamin Button's got nothin on me. So now, I am writing this from the womb.

How DARE you insult health and beauty products - espcially those legitimate ones sold on Info-mercials.

Perhaps... but if her hair dryer said "Acoustic Revive RIO-5II Tourmaline Negative Ion Generator" on it I doubt seriously she could have bought it for just $30! Unless it was last years model. Current stuff is always oh, so much better.... well, at least it's more expensive. Maybe that's what makes it better.

Last time I checked, the Revlon was going for $30 at drugstore.com. As an aside, I spent a few year at Revlon in marketing. What Revlon sold for 'hope'. Seems that is also what is going on in hi-end audio. As in the beauty business, without hope of better sound, we would never buy another item. Enjoy the music.
